The original Chinese musical Butterflies will fly back to Beijing this weekend with four shows at the Tianqiao Theater.
Though its premiere in Beijing in September 2007 failed to wow audiences, producer Li Dun did not give up and invited veteran Chinese-American director Lei Guohua to revise it.
"The old version is a bold experiment combining a Chinese story and the Western musical form. But there were small problems. The relationship among some characters was vague. The plot lacked good drama," says Lei.
